COVID might have taken the last swing, but the dude had pretty much everything on the menu.

I actually thought he had died a few years ago.

Larry King had looked old for years, with his medical history it’s surprising he made it to 87. I saw him in one of the Mardi Gras parades in the ‘00s and he looked like an automated robot then, like a president from the Disney World exhibit.

Besides being an Oscar winner (Last Picture Show) at one time she held the record for most Emmys in acting categories. Julia Louise Dreyfuss has tied her with eight.

Gregory Sierra. One of those “that guy” actors who did a bunch of of guest spots but was best known for roles in two ‘70s series. He played Detective Amengual on later Barney Miller episodes but I remember him as Julio in Sanford & Son.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Hilton Valentine, 77.
Who? Lead guitarist for The Animals. House of the Rising Sun is one of the seminal early rock songs. It was released in 1964 but was ahead of it's time.

How was it ahead of its time? It’s a super old folk song that had been around for hundreds of years and recorded dozens of times before The Animals did it.

As I understand The Animals version has a different arrangement than the traditional folk ballad. The electric guitar work in particular to me sounds like something that would come later in the 60s/70s.

Theirs wasn’t super different from most that came before. I think I read one time they said they ripped of Dylan’s version. The DO pretty much have the definitive version of the song and a lot of that probably does owe to Valentine’s opening chord progression.
